Answer:

There are 96 large tents and 60 small tents

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of tents of each sizes there

Let the number of 6-boys tent be s and the number of 4-boys tent be f

6s + 4f = 816 ••••••(i)

Ratio of large to small ( ratio of s to f)

8:5 = s/f

8/5 = s/f

8f = 5s

f = 5s/8 ••••(ii)

Substitute ii into i

6s + 4(5s/8) = 816

6s + 5s/2 = 816

Multiply through by 2

12s + 5s = 1,632

17s = 1632

s = 1632/17

s = 96

f = 5s/8

f = (5 * 96)/8 = 60

Can someone plz help me with #1, #2,#3,#4?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

1: 152

2: 152

3: 152

4: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

1-3: They are all congruent. So if you look at the given angle, it is the same as 1-3.

4: This one is tricky. Since a straight line is 180, you have to subtract 180-152.

Hope this helps!
